The Poetry Center’s Tripwire Cross-Cultural Poetics Series: Jen Hofer & John Pluecker, Antena

Antena, John Pluecker & Jen Hofer, engage in a live translation experiment, recorded on September 27, 2018, at The Poetry Center, San Francisco State University. The second night of a two-evening program, debuting The Poetry Center’s Tripwire Cross-Cultural Poetics Series, Antena enacted their collaborative practice by engaging in topics chosen through audience feedback, free-flowing association, and discussion of current and past projects, culminating in a performance of improvised interpretative poem-making. The prior night, both writers read from their own work, as well as translations, at E.M. Wolfman Bookstore in Oakland. Both full programs at Poetry Center Digital Archive.
